    	Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun which is approximately 778 million km. This planet is named after the Greek god Jupiter because of its massive size. To bring Jupiter's size into perspective if the Sun was a door, earth would be the size of a nickel and Jupiter would be the size of a basketball. One day on Jupiter takes about 10 hours in our time. A complete orbit around the sun for Jupiter (aka a Jovian year) takes about 12 Earth years.  Galileo Galilei was the first to give a detailed observation of the planet Jupiter in 1610.

    	Jupiter is also known as the "Gas Giant," because its surface is composed of gas. The colorful bands found on Jupiter are caused by the mixing of different gases swirling around the planet. Jupiter spins once every 10 hours this fast rotation allows the beautiful bands to form and give the planet multicolor appearance.  Jupiter is also known for its Great Red Spot. This spot is visible on many of the photos taken of Jupiter. Other interesting characteristics of Jupiter include faint rings that encircle the "Gas Giant." These rings are thought to be composed of dust kicked up as interplanetary meteoroids crash into Jupiter's small innermost moons.

           Jupiter has 50 known moons. There are 17 additional moons waiting to be confirmed, that would give Jupiter a total of 67 moons! The four largest and most observed moons are Lo, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. These four were also first observed by Galileo in 1610. These four moons are also known as Galilean Satellites. Lo is a little larger than earth's moon and is said to be the most volcanically active celestial body in the solar system. Europa is Jupiter's icy moon; the whole surface is completely frozen in salty water. Ganymede is the largest moon in our system if it didn't orbit Jupiter it would be classified as a planet.  Callisto is the most cratered object in the solar system.

        The most recent mission to Jupiter was in 2011 when Juno was launched to examine Jupiter's chemistry, atmosphere, interior structure, and magnetosphere. Juno should reach Jupiter in 2016.

            <p>The Great Red Spot is actually a storm that has been going on for about 300 years, because there is no solid surface, there is no telling if this storm will ever stop.  Other ovals have emerged from this storm because of the gaseous nature of the planet they appear similar to the Great Red Spot.</p>
